TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access
Plant traits - the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants - determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait‐based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits - almost complete coverage for ‘plant growth form’. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait–environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives

Motifs of Immortality in Osamu Tezuka’s Phoenix
Osamu Tezuka is well known for having written many famous manga over his long life, such as Black Jack (ブラクジャック), Phoenix (火の鳥), and Buddha (ブッダ). In his manga Phoenix, an ever-present motif is immortality and reincarnation. This investigation analyzes the first five stories in the 12-volume series. I intend to analyze each story’s discussion of those themes, especially in the context of events that happen in the series such as the reappearances of the characters Saruta and the Phoenix. This project discusses the different types of immortality that are described in the manga in order to show how immortality connects the stories even though each story takes place in a vastly different time period. This research is significant to the larger topic of manga as literature because there are many articles arguing that manga is a respectable form of literature like novels, short stories, or poetry, but very few articles that analyze manga as literature. Immortality is an important motif to the work as a whole, and therefore must be examined because it is what ties the series together.Englis
Using Wikipedia to increase the visibility of digital collections: an editathon
Former URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10125/59398What do Libraries, Librarians, and Wikipedia have in common? We seek to provide people with information. This session is all about how to teach using Wikipedia, how librarians can contribute to the creation and dissemination of information through Wikipedia, and ultimately work to improve it. Teaching with Wikipedia allows librarians to reinforce valuable information literacy concepts in a format students understand and librarians, with a keen understanding of information concepts, are perfectly poised to contribute to Wikipedia. During the first part of this session, attendees will learn about teaching with Wikipedia and will get an overview of Wikipedia's policies. In the second half, attendees will learn to edit Wikipedia by adding citations to existing articles. Join us on our quest to become Wikipedians! *Please bring your own device and sign up at the following link: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/HLAConference/Introduction_to_Wikipedia_editing?enroll=pjfywnu

TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait-based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits—almost complete coverage for ‘plant growth form’. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait–environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives. © 2019 The Authors. Global Change Biology published by John Wiley and Sons Lt
